in 1982 by Glenn Frey was too mellow to be done by an ex Eagle. his later songs like Smugglers Blues, The Heat is On were more like Eagles tunes. I had no idea the tune was his
I'm a bit older than most of you ... well maybe a lot older ... the Globetrotters cut a record long ago ... Rainy Days Bells ... a good old doo wop song ... their one and only record. Still played today when shaggers gather at the Carolina coast. This is the basketball Globetrotters.
When the group America cut their first 45 in early '72, "A Horse With No Name" sounded awfully familiar to me. The first guy I thought of was Neil Young.
For any of you American Idol fans...When I first heard "Baby I will wait for you" by Elliot Yamine, I couldn't believe that was him. It was so different than the songs he sang on American Idol.

A lot of people used to mistake America for The Eagles, so I understand that very much.
Speaking of The Eagles, when "Witchy Woman" came out, it sounded nothing like their other songs.

Way back when, DJs would play a lot of music back to back without giving the titles or artists. For some reason, some of us were positive this was The Rolling Stones. I guess that, unless you bought the record and saw the name, you could mistake one artist for another. Of course, the speakers in cars are so much better now.
When this record hit the airwaves, we thought it was by Rod Stewart. Since we rarely saw pictures of groups or performances on TV, we had no idea what the lead singer looked like, and people speculated that it WAS Stewart since singers sometimes popped up with groups, going from one to the other. I still think he sounds like Rod Stewart during that time period. And, it's definitely still a great song! And, I STILL have that single with the great label art:
